SUMMARY

The Effect of Using Picture-Based Question and Answer Game on the Seventh Year Students’ Tense Achievement at SMPN Sukorambi Jember in the2011/2012 Academic Year; Dyah Ayu Nugraheni, 070210401083; 2012:50; English Education Program of Language and Arts Education department, the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Jember University.

Tense is one of the major factors in learning English that should be learnt

and mastered by students in order to be able to communicate with others. By

mastering tenses, the students can produce grammatically English sentences both

in spoken and written forms. However, for EFL learners, learning tenses is a hard

task which can sometimes be depressing because English grammatical patterns are

greatly different from those of Indonesian. To solve this problem, it is

recommended that the English teacher select an interesting and challenging

learning technique that can motivate the students in learning English tenses. One

of the learning techniques that can meet the requirement is a game. Game can help

and encourage many learners to sustain their interest and work.

This research was conducted to investigate the effect of using

Picture-Based Question and Answer Game on the seventh year students’ tense

achievement at SMPN Sukorambi Jember in the 2011/2012 academic year. The

population of this research was the seventh year students of SMPN Sukorambi

Jember in the 2011/2012 academic year. The research respondents were

determined by cluster random sampling by a lottery. The number of the

respondents was 72 students, consisting of 35 students of grade VII E as the

experimental group taught tenses by using Picture-Based Question and Answer

Game, while the control group consisted of 37 students of grade VII D taught

tenses by lecturing technique.

The primary data of this research were collected from the students’ scores

of tense test. They were collected from the post test to compare the two different

(8)

sample T-Test (SPSS). Based on the calculation, the result of this research showed

that there was a significant effect of using Picture-Based Question and Answer

Game on the seventh year students’ tense achievement. It was proved by the value

of significant column of t-test table by using SPSS sofware, and the result was

0.003 which was lower than 0.05 (significance level of 5%). This means that the

null hypothesis (H0) formulated: “there is no significant effect of using

achievement at SMPN Sukorambi Jember in the 2011/2012 academic year” was

rejected, thus the alternative hypothesis: “there is significant effect of using

achievement at SMPN Sukorambi Jember in the 2011/2012 academic year” was

accepted.

The research results proved that there was a significant effect of using

achievement at SMPN Sukorambi Jember in the 2011/2012 academic year.

Therefore, it is recommended for the English teacher to apply Picture-Based

Question and Answer Game as an alternative technique in teaching tenses.
